Among all players in the NBA, Chet Holmgren measures in the 89th percentile for personal fouls, compiling a massive 2.9 fouls per game while playing on the road this year.Since the start of last season, the other team's starting Cs have totaled 11.9 points per game (15th-lowest in the NBA) against the Utah Jazz, labeling this as a hard matchup for offensive efficiency.The Utah Jazz have played at the 5th-slowest tempo in the league over the last 5 games away from their home stadium, which should decrease plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder.The Oklahoma City Thunder have been the worst offensive rebounding offense in the NBA this year (offensive rebounds maintain possession, and a lack of them may therefore lead to fewer opportunities for scoring and assists).The matchup vs. Utah is a difficult one for getting to the free-throw line; the opposition's starting Cs have attempted a mere 2.4 free throws per game since the start of last season when the Utah Jazz are on the road (14th-least in the league).
